ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTATÑ
DO IT YOURSELF!
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced.
We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.
If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to
make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers,
such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20Ð40 degrees.
To Adjust the Thermostat:
(appearance may vary)
1.
Check to be sure the OVEN CONTROL knob is in
the OFF position.
2.
Pull the knob straight off the shaft.
3.
On the back of the knob there are a series of 5 to
7 small grooves. Note the position of the pointer
(located in the middle groove). Loosen the 2 screws
on the back of the knob.
NOTE:
If the knob does not have 2 screws, it is
not adjustable.
4.
To increase or decrease the temperature, move
the pointer in the desired direction according to
the R (raise) Ð L (lower) arrow. The temperature
can be adjusted in increments as indicated on the
back of the knob.
5.
When the desired adjustment is reached, tighten
both screws.
6.
To replace the knob, line up the flat sides of both
the knob and the shaft. Push the knob into place.
DO NOT
force the OVEN CONTROL knob onto
the shaft or you may damage the back of the knob.
NOTE:
Once an adjustment is made, the OFF
position will vary from the reference mark on the
backguard depending on the amount of adjustment.
